Wow!!
I been welding for around 10 years, as a hobby, im not great at it, but I'm not useless either..
anyway, been using a SIF Lite since the start of it and about 3 years ago got a Parweld gifted by a mate. - much better condition as my SIF was damaged due to splatter from MIG.
I sold my Licoln TIG welder and the dude who bought it turned up yesterday to pick it up and I had to show him it working.
Anyway.. he brought his own mask and said "here, try this one my wife bought me"
I was gobsmacked!! The difference was like me going from watching TV on and old tube tv, to a state of the art super HDTV with 4K and all the bells and whistles...
it was unbelivable! I did not have a clue welding helmets could be that good and the image so clear and crisp. I could actually see everything perfectly!
The helmet was a Lincoln Viking 3350. - now... I looked into this and it's like £200... which I could maybe justify it and wait till end of the month to buy one.
But.. if anyone knows how clear the image is on this one, is there a cheaper helmet that can offer this kind of great quality??
I think my mask needs replacing anyway as sometimes it flickers when starting.
thank you!
